What to do if your hands are burned by hot peppers

In daily life, we often cook some dishes with chili peppers. When cutting vegetables, if you are not careful, your hands will be burned by the chili peppers. Some people may not pay much attention to it, but the spiciness will make the skin hot and there will be pain in the hands. If you sweat at this time, it will be very uncomfortable. Is there any way to relieve this symptom? Let’s talk about how to relieve the spiciness of chili peppers.

1. Saliva. When cutting peppers and your hands get spicy, remember to put the spicy fingers in your mouth and use saliva to dilute the spicy feeling. The effect is very good.

2. Rinse with cold water. When cutting peppers and your hands get spicy, you can also rinse them repeatedly with cold water. This can effectively relieve the spiciness and pain.

3. When your hands are spicy, you can also use vinegar to wash your hands. When you feel something spicy, pour some vinegar on the finger that is affected. Then dip another finger in the vinegar and press the finger repeatedly. It will be gone in a while.

4. Soak in hot water. When your hands are too spicy from the peppers, you can also use hot water. You don’t need to wash them directly, but just soak your hands in the hot water. Take it out after a few minutes and the hot water will dilute the spiciness of the chili.

5. Wash with alcohol. If your hands are spicy and you happen to have some wine on hand, you can use it to wash them. In fact, using alcohol to wash hands that have been smeared with spicy food is the most effective of all. Just rub it twice and the painful feeling of the spiciness will naturally disappear.

6. Soak it in rice water or wash it with salt water (it may hurt at first, but it will be fine after a while!)

When cutting peppers, you can press the peppers with the tips of your fingers instead of pinching them with your fingernails. This way, your hands will not be easily burned.

If you have experience with spicy food, if you know you will be cutting a lot of peppers today, prepare in advance. Buy some disposable gloves and keep them at home. Put on the gloves and throw them away after use. This way, the food will basically not be spicy. Although it will be slower to cut and not as easy to cut, it is very comfortable without any sharp feeling.
